News As Pictograms

London-based graphic designer Stephen McCarthy reimagined what newspapers would look like if they were purely in pictographic forms. In his project ‘Pictograms: The Newspaper’, McCarthy reinterpreted a whole newspaper (namely, ‘The Sun’) in pictographic content. “Each page was distilled down to a concise pictogram,” McCarthy wrote. The main story of each page were turned into pictograms and reprinted (one pictogram per page) as a newspaper—for those who’d rather not ‘read’ all about it.
